Well this is Florida we are talking about….

Still maybe it just comes with the job. Be a scientist means having to admit you know don't know the answer to a lot of stuff (if fact saying more research is needed basically they get funding). It takes a degree of humility to do that.

Being an engineer on the other hand means not only having to 'do the maths' but being able to confidently answer any questions that may arise. Any admission of ignorance is seen an admission of failure.

Being smart is important but not as much as having to look smart. So you end up getting the 'intellect blow hards' types who felt the need to prove their intellect prowess.

>Every single of my uni friends does some sort of sports and we never even discuss anything school/job related outside classes, as opposed to science nerds ive had misfortune to meet.

Well if *you're* an engineer talking to other engineers, of course it's not going to be like that. It's how you present yourself to outsiders that matters. That really should be clear.

Next time you see an new engineer student trying pretending to be from other field before ask them about what they think to the course

>Have you even tried doing exactly the same thing with "im a scientist" before you decided to shitpost here?

Yes, did you?

Not only are they thousands of more hits for engineer then scientist the merchandise that pops up is lower down and has a much different tone. It's all humorous pop culture sic stuff rather then stuff actually aimed at scientists. It's mainly just poster art aimed at 'nerds' not self described scientists.

The engineers meanwhile have coffee mugs, and while there is a nice touch of self deprecating humour, but it's stuff mug made for and aimed at engineers to show off while they're busy drinking coffee around the office and being engineers.
